the right place for saving a central idcheck-routine

[hgh-esn]

Hi to all here,

I wan't to expand the online search filter
id:nn (nn = 1... 99999) in listviews for articles, categories, users, etc. to something like
id:nn1, nn2, nn3,.... or
id:nn1-nn3 (short way of the above) in a future J4. x release.

At the moment, the inline id:search is coded in any existing listview explicitly.

In my solution, I will build a central routine, which is called by any listview (article, categories, etc.)

And now the question:

Where is the right place to store it, so that it will be found from everywhere?

What are the php conditions in Joomla for that?

thanks for any answer

The search field gets used in the model getListQuery function. I think you will have to override that function in each view in which you wish to use the new behaviour. That means you will have to subclass the model and load it before Joomla loads the standard version. You can do that with a plugin. I don't think there is any way to change the behaviour of every similar search function with the same bit of code.
